Watercolor art and exclusivity agreement

I had discovered the possibility of selling images using stock agencies in 2006. I had found Dreamstime accidentally, then I made a deeper search and I found a lot of other stock web-sites which offer the opportunity of selling illustrations. I had studied these sites, I gave a look to the images on line, categories and payments. I had read contracts and terms of use of the main stock sites. And at last I had chosen to be an exclusive contributor of Dreamstime. Why? Because of watercolors. I love painting watercolors! And it's a good choice for me selling the exclusivity of these images to DT.

I'm very surprised that only DT offers hand made artworks to his clients. The other stock agencies don't accept artistic, hand made illustrations!
Perhaps someone can think that only digital images sells well but I don't agree. There are thousands of art buyers and selling hand made paintings gives to Dreamstime an interesting category of beautiful artworks to buy.
Look at this collection of watercolors and artistic paintings and tell me if there aren't a lot of good pictures. So, artworks and paintings: why not?
